Marie was pregnant at the time. Doctors decided that an abortion would improve her condition.

The abortion had the opposite of the intended effect. Marie's condition deteriorated. She developed respiratory distress system, then went into shock. She died on May 7.

Her physician attributed her death to amniotic fluid embolism, but no autopsy was performed to confirm this.
